American Pharoah (Acoustic Version)

I ain't got time for a revolution

You earn a little gold, then it fades away

And I don't know how I ended up at your house

I guess it doesn't really matter much, anyway

Mama always said don't you be reckless

Always save more than you spend

Everybody everywhere said we can grow forever

And in the end everyone would win

Now I'm free, as a parrot

Running my mouth from the confines of my room

Rich, as an American Pharoah

Living out my days scoring someone else's loot

I had a little land in a lovely stretch of country

Toilin' time's all I'd ever known

Just closing deals for the bowties and the cameras

Til they ran into a little bit of trouble with some unpaid loans

Now I'm free, as a parrot

Running my mouth from the confines of my room

Rich, as an American Pharoah

Living out my days under someone else's boot

It sure was a long road

Sure was a heavy load

I carried all my life for all of you

I'm done with running

I guess I'll come clean

Is there any more I can do?

Free, as a parrot

Running my mouth from the confines of my room

Rich, as an American Pharoah

Living out my days under someone else's boot
